On October 18 2006, Marc Spagnuolo made YouTube history when he posted his first video on a channel he called The Wood Whisperer. His woodworking is some of the best in the business, showcasing beautifully crafted furniture, using a combination of traditional power tools along with planes, chisels and other hand tools when needed.  In this episode I talked to Marc about being on YouTube for 15 years and how he's recently pivoted his content.
